how to extract "https://thisisurl.com", and "This is url" attributes from it

where the url attribute is given in brackets [???] and remaining text is the name attribute

I want a function that can do this task for me

CodePudding user response：

You can use escape character \ for this as follow:

const str = '[https://thisisurl.com] This is Name'

const regex = /\[(.*)\] (.*)/i
const matchResult = str.match(regex)

const url = matchResult[1]
const name = matchResult[2]

console.log(`url: "${url}" name: "${name}"`)
